Review, & Country Profiles

Monday 10/16/2017 – OPENING: 10 minutes

Today’s warm up is going to be, at best, a closing activity. With a short day and a strange week ahead, there are a couple things I need to be sure to cover, so today’s 20 Questions will either happen at the end (if we have time), or not at all. We’ll see. Thanks for understanding. :)

LESSON – 45 minutes

Review work from last week.

Country Profiles

Since we have a very strange week with lots of unusual things pulling us away from our typical class time, we are going to complete some independent work. Specifically, we’ll be assigned a country of the world and we’ll have to complete a country profile sheet on that country.

There are some specific requirements that we’ll review as a class, and then you’ll have Tues and Thurs to complete your work.

Homework

You don’t have specific homework, however, you are required to complete your country profile this week, so feel free to work on it outside of school if you’re moved to do so.

Quote of the Week

“There’s no real substitute for caring enough to do the work. Shortcuts are rarely that…they might get you somewhere in the short-run, but they almost always delay your growth in the ways that matter.”

About…

I’m in my 4th year as a lead learner at Vista High School. My credential is in Social Studies, but as a founding member of the Personalized Learning Academy, and now a member of the early adopters team for the 1st year of XQ Super School implementation, the traditional ideas around high school social studies don’t really apply….read more

Goals…

Though we’re still knee-deep in the ‘action research’ phase, the goals are clear…

Equip learners with a framework for learning that can be transferred to all aspects of school life, and beyond.

Involve students in the design of their learning experiences to increase relevancy and agency.
